Palau Sant Jordi (catalan language, "St. George Palace") is an indoor sporting arena and multi-purpose installation located in Barcelona, Spain. The maximum seating capacity of the arena is 17,000 for sporting events and 20,000 for musical events.
It was opened in 1990 and designed by Japanese architect Arata Isozaki.

The Palau Sant Jordi was one of the main venues of the 1992 Summer Olympics. Nowadays, it is used for all kinds of indoor sport events as well as for concerts and other cultural activities, due to its great flexibility. The arena was the venue of the 1998 and 2003 Euroleague final four [ [http://www.euroleague.net/news/i/9072/180/item F4 History: 1998, A triumph for virtue] ] , in which the local club, FC Barcelona, won the competition. Madonna kicked off her Drowned World Tour at the arena ; it also hosted the Shakira Oral Fixation Tour in 2007, and the MTV Europe Music Awards in 2002. On August 25, 2008, The Palau Sant Jordi will host RBD's Empezar desde Cero Tour 2008 [ [http://www.univision.com/content/content.jhtml?cid=1589290 Roptus: RBD de vuelta a España] ] .
